Ignite Bermuda Opens Entrepreneurial Program
Ignite Bermuda opened applications for its Entrepreneurial Accelerator Programme, encouraging entrepreneurs and community leaders to apply by February 2nd.
A spokesperson said, “Are you looking to develop an idea, scale your business or improve your charity?
“Applications are open for Ignite’s award-winning Entrepreneurial Accelerator Programme. Entrepreneurs and Community Leaders are invited to apply online for the free programme at the Ignite Bermuda website www.ignitebermuda.com until Friday, February 2nd.
“For the first time, Ignite is collaborating with the Bermuda Ocean Prosperity Programme [BOPP] and the Bermuda Health Council to encourage entrepreneurs to apply who are innovating in the blue economy and health care sectors.
“The term “blue economy” refers to the sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods, and increased jobs while preserving the health of ocean ecosystems. Bermuda’s Blue Economy Strategy aims to facilitate sustainable fisheries, expand sustainable marine tourism, accelerate the clean energy transition, and increase blue investment and blue technologies on the island.
“The Bermuda Health Council aims to attract entrepreneurs with solutions to non-communicable chronic diseases, chronic mental health conditions, and Bermuda’s aging population.
“An Open House will be held on Wednesday, January 24th, at 5:30 pm at the Ignite Bermuda Hub. Attendees will be able to see firsthand what Ignite has to offer, meet the team, members from the Bermuda Health Council and BOPP, and Ignite alumni. RSVP via email, hello@ignitebermuda.com.
“Since its inception in May 2019, Ignite has supported close to 500 entrepreneurs as it seeks to increase jobs and diversity in Bermuda. Successful applicants to the core programme will gain access to a state-of-the-art co-working space, informational workshops, one-to-one enablement sessions, and mentorship opportunities.”
When asked about the programme, Tomika Smith founder of Private Rendezvous Bermuda and Ignite alumna said, “This has been a life-changing experience that has not only elevated my business but my life and wellness as a whole. Thank you to the entire team and cohort.”
